Abstraction Bestiary

Fairly big update to the website: Abstraction

I have added a Bestiary with many of the the creatures you will see that are either new or not used as they are in regular DS. Abstaction Bestiary :thumbup:

Post to the latest file here: Abstraction v0.997

Great beasties! But all you need is a boarman and playable zaurasks, krugs and TROGS!

Any monster can be made playable but not really sure it is worth it. Most dont have that many animations and are unable to wear armors. They can be given inate armors built in but I like to be able to use some of the stuff that gets dropped.

Then the Zaurask models are the perfect models, they all have:

Bow animation
Unarmed animation
Shield and weapon animation
weapon only animation
spell animation
spell with staff animation
staff attack animation

Sweet, guys! :thumbup:

Thanks Ulf!
Just wanted to point out that our sleeves aren't empty yet. We just didn't want to give everything away.
This is going to be a fairly 'boss-heavy' sieglet. As such, there are more beasties that haven't been seen because they don't look like much to start with. If we were to tell you what they were, we'd be giving info away that must be earned. In other words, you may be walking into some traps. So be warned, some mobs in Abstraction are more dangerous than they look. Of course some are exactly as dangerous as they look!

The elves look, ummm, more elfie.

Male Elf, now has hair, longer hair, and pointy ears that are obvious to see.

And the female Elves. Yes that is the same character in the pics. Used the same armor and looks on all the pics on purpose.

New Male Sea Elf version.

Note like the Female Sea Elf that is the same character in both pics. Both will age at least twice as you level.

really nice sjr

You guys do such great detail, I wish I could play with them larger but I get lost (not to mention killed) when I max the size in battle.

Your bloo elves are really stunning -

Check out the Balor page.

What a great expression on the balor brute! And is that an ammo belt over his shoulder?

Nice job -

I must confess on those Balor skins. They are just derived from the GPG Yesterhaven sieglet. There were a bunch of skins and such made for that project that have never been used elsewhere. I have imported the skins so that having Yesterhaven installed is not a pre-requisite of playing Abstraction.
They sure work for this new creature, especially with the addition of the flappy wings!

Here is a better perspective of what the Balor family looks like. Notice they dont mind posing with a Sea Elf pc character.

by Lady Nerae on Mon Jun 28, 2004 6:43 am

Yuh they don't mind at all...

that's why they are all thinking... "Snackies!"

heh - they are a great lot
